Description So I was inspired by MrEyeCandy66 's awesome hair, texture, and depth of field drawing skills to practice my own. I've done a lot with depth of field before, but texture and hair are easily my two weakest points. This time, instead of starting with the face, I decided to finish the jacket and hair before anything else, taking extra care with them even after I thought they were done (And there were many times I wanted to be done with them!). I'm still having some trouble with balancing texture/softness in hair, but I think I came a long way with this one.

Also, I don't usually draw people I'm not a fan of/don't really know, but I sawΒ this photo Β in passing and thought it would be a fun one. I did watch a lot of Phineas and Ferb in middle school, so maybe that counts.

White and black charcoal on Strathmore newsprint.

It is a strange thing to feel like you're "growing up" with someone you see in movies/TV... I had the same experience with Lucy in the Narnia movies.
